1796 S-105 R5- Draped Bust G5
. Glossy light to medium
chocolate brown with slightly lighter brown toning on the
devices. There is minor roughness in the fields on both sides
and a few minor contact marks, but overall this is a nice exam-
ple for the grade. The notable marks are an "X" very lightly
scratched across the obverse centered just left of the ear and a
small but sharp rim nick opposite the eye. The bottom edge of
the date is starting to fade into the rim but the rest is clear and
the legends are easily readable. E-MDS, Breen state II, with die
clashmarks on both sides.

1796 S-109 R3 Draped Bust VG10+
. Attractive glossy light
to medium chocolate brown and steel. The obverse is slightly
sharper than the reverse but both sides offer excellent eye
appeal. No hint of roughness or verdigris and only a few light
contact marks. The notable marks are a thin nick high on the
neck, a dull one on the shoulder, a shallow diagonal scratch in
the leaves left of the O in ONE, and a few very light rim nicks
and bruises at the top of the reverse. E-MDS, Breen state II.
The reverse die has been lapped but the obverse is still
uncracked. The date is strong and the legends are complete. A
nice cent, close to F12.
Removed from a PCGS slab graded

1796 S-110 R3 Draped Bust VG8
. The sharpness is VG10 or
a bit better but there are traces of shallow black verdigris or
hard crud on both sides, mostly on the reverse. The notable
marks are a very light rim bruise over the T in LIBERTY, an
incipient planchet clip right of the neck, and some tiny "nibbles"
along the edge at S-OF-AMER. Mostly glossy medium brown
and light chocolate mixed with areas of dark olive brown crud in
protected areas. The date is bold and the legends are clear. E-
MDS, Breen state III, with a light die crack through the top of
RTY.

under the L in LIBERTY down to the bust and a tiny planchet
chip over the 7 in the date. LDS, Breen state IV, with strong
swelling inside the wreath that obliterates ONE CENT. The date

1796 S-113 R5 Draped Bust VG7
. The obverse is weaker
but the reverse is stronger, the grade being an average of the
two sides. No roughness or verdigris. Just a few contact marks,
including an obvious scratch or thin planchet void on the face
and a trio of less-significant tiny rim bruises at the top of the
reverse. Mostly glossy steel brown and light chocolate. The 6 in
the date is slightly weak thanks to a minor die clog affecting its
right side but the remainder of the date is strong and the leg-
ends are complete. Very rare E-MDS, Breen state II, before any
die clashmarks.
Estimated Value .......................................................$400-UP
